Free national online sessions for post-16 education leaders and practitioners in SEND

Oldham College is hosting a series of online national events in partnership with the Education and Training Foundation (ETF), as one of their Centres for Excellence in SEND.

These webinar and community of practice events offer free support to leaders, managers and practitioners across a range of Careers-related themes, all focusing on ways to ensure that more learners with SEND secure meaningful employment.

Alan Benvie, Vice Principal, says: “These events are designed for anyone in post 16 education and training working to improve the experiences of learners with SEND.

“We will be joined by a range of guest speakers from across our sector, who will share their insights & resources, provide opportunities for discussion and enable idea sharing from across the country.

“We encourage all leaders of SEND to join us for these events and to share these details with anyone they know who may be interested in attending.”
